I met up with Rodney for quick lunch so we decided to try some place new near our offices. He suggested Emmett O’Lunney’s, an Irish pub that I’ve been to for drinks after work, but never for food. We both opted for cheeseburgers with swiss. Mine was cooked medium rare to order, and had a nice thick layer of swiss, but the fries were a huge disappointment. They had that outer coating, similar to Burger King fries, that are supposed to make them crispier but just make them brittle and weird tasting.

Autopsy shot
Overall I’d still come back here for a drink, as it’s a large space and good for happy hour crowds, but I wouldn’t come back for the food. The cheeseburger was pricey at $12.95, and really not worth the expense. There are better places to get a bite to eat in the area.
